'Keir Starmer'

There is a semi-plausible literary reference in the title, but I will come back to it.

Writing on the current debacle runs the risk of being relevant for 10 minutes before the next twist. But still.

I voted for Labour in 2024. I thought that Starmer would be strong and purposeful, with Labour driving through change that would benefit all sections of UK society. The stonking General Election majority only amplified my expectations. How wrong was I to be so optimistic.

What's in a word, or two or three? Lawyers for Luke Littler (don't you love the alliteration), having trademarked 'the Nuke', 'Luke Littler', and 'Luke the Nuke Littler', have allegedly started action to prevent a bar opening in his home town of Warrington under the name 'Nukes Sports Bar'.

No worse a fate can befall a man than when his exercise activity stops downloading  from his Apple Watch to his Strava app on the I Phone. Perturbation; anxiety; and concern that followers may fear over what has happened to the athlete. But in I Phone world it's ok, as long as you can get to an Apple Store. There they have friendly tech experts who can sort you out in an instant.

So off I go one bright morning to the Apple Store at the top of Regent Street, where the smiley sales assistants help you shed molto moolah on the latest Apple innovation.
